    Bonjour Theo! If you send me something to 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France, I PROMISE (Scouts' Honour, and all that) to mail you something back. But don't post it on the site first! Grrrrrrr, Regards, Val
  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Thanks! I worked for a computer company for 17 years, but, fortunately, not with computers. perhaps that's why I'm now an artist (of sorts). There's a whole universe of undelivered mail art out there somewhere -- perhaps your earlier stuff has joined it. Anyway if, when or wherever I rceeive anything from you I'lllet you know, and then trust my return piece to the Franco-Canadian postal world. Au revoir, Val
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Bonjour Theo! Many thanks indeed for the White mountain card, poem and owl arti-stamp. that should be 3 thankyous, I suppose. I'll be sending you something back in a couple of days time, and meanwhile hope you are well. Regards, le Tour de Val
  • your sticker with Human Artist Vending Machine's on my netbook:

    also using them on outgoing mails too.

    stickers are lots of fun!!!

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Bonjour! Did i tell you that I watched le Tour on Sunday, and that I very nearly got arrested for 'liberating' a Tour sign from a roundabout?

    Contador is certainly the man to watch if his knee is better. Today's stage shouldn't shake things up too much, but Thursday & Friday see 2 'monster'  mountain stages in the Alps followed by the one and only time-trial. By the time they get to the last stage on Sunday I wouldn't be at all surpised if the present order has been greatly shaken up, and that Contador has a -- small -- lead which he will be able to defend as they roll into Paris;

    regards, le tour de Val

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Bonjour! Another card -- and this time of a  sunflower. Many thanks indeed. I'm struggling to keep up, but hope to be able to send you something back at the end of the week. Thanks again and best wishes. Regards, le Tour de Val
